For the love of my eyes!

 Why is the font so much smaller in the new layouts? I'll need glasses at this rate!

Edit: I also need a bit of sense. Change the font. Duh.

Most ironic juxtaposition eva! gakked from Mr Sardonic blog

Scroll to  the very bottom please. Somehow I am having issues with the image itself.

WTF ?!!? If this is true, then we need to toss our media into a black hole. Now. Cause they

aren't doing shit. And right behind 'em, toss out the neocon self-righteous fuckwitteries. "We don't talk to evil????"

<i> "After the 9/11 attacks turned the U.S. against the Taliban, U.S. media outlets put footage of a handful of jeering Palestinians on heavy rotation. Meanwhile, "In Iran, vast crowds turned out on the streets and held candlelit vigils for the victims. Sixty-thousand spectators respected a minute's silence at Tehran's football stadium."

Wondering why you never heard that? The above quote comes from the BBC. Fox News didn't report. American news consumers didn't know, much less decide."<i/>

 

Funny.  I thought they were all bloodthirstily plotting our explosion, envying  our freedom and planning to kill us all for our democracy. I thought they were part of the Axis of Evil. Oh they aren't? Silly me for believing my government. And the media, who were supposed to be the Fourth Estate that would look out for us the people.


<i>  Finding an opportunity for rapprochement and a mutual foe in the Taliban, Iran became a silent America ally after 9/11. The Iranian military offered to conduct search and rescue operations for downed U.S. pilots during the fall 2001 war against the Taliban. It used its influence with the Afghanistan's Dari population to broker the loya jirga that installed Hamid Karzai as president of Afghanistan. </i>


How many people knew that? How many media outlets reported that?

<i>  In May 2003, Iran shook off its annoyance and again tried to make nice. The Iranian overture came in the form of a letter delivered to the State Department after the fall of Baghdad. "Iran appeared willing to put everything on the table--including being completely open about its nuclear program, helping to stabilize Iraq, ending its support for Palestinian militant groups and help in disarming Hezbollah," reported the BBC.

U.S. officials confirm this overture.

"That letter went to the Americans to say that we are ready to talk, we are ready to address our issues," says Seyed Adeli, an Iranian foreign minister at the time. Larry Wilkerson, chief of staff to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell, says the Bushies made a conscious decision to ignore it. "We don't speak to evil," he recalls that Administration hardliners led by Donald Rumsfeld said.<i/>

I'm sorry, but did I see the part where far-right military industrial complex supporting, imperialistic neocons said that "We don't speak to evil!" huh? Wait, wha?  Have you paid <i>any<i/> to the maelstrom of human misery that is Iraq, lately? Have you forgotten to whole torture thing in that prison in Cuba? Have you forgotten the women forced into prostitution since you fucked up the economy and failed in the security-guaranteeing so hard that they have to sell themselves to you to eat?  have your heard of that bible verse that reccomends fixing your wrongs before yelling about the wrongs of others? You should. After all, your president is a Christian, isn't he?
